The classic white wine spritzer was invented in Austria as sparkling water came into fashion. Adding a squirt, or gespritzt, of cold bubbles to a glass of wine made for a stylish summer drink. As its popularity spread through the continent and across the pond, the German gespritzt led way to ‘spritzer’. This modern spritzer invokes summertime relaxation and terrace living with Grey Goose and honey, a dash of lemon for balance, and an essential spritz of soda.
